` letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

lhe nature of our-invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a revolving center iiyproof provision-safe, as will'bc hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appertains to make and use the same, we will now proceed t describe its construction and operation, referring` to the' annexed drawing, in whichv Figure 1 is a perspective view of our safe, with the door thrown open, and

Figure 2 is a section thereof, showing the device for holding the revolving shelves stationary.

A represents a cylindrical wire-cloth casing, provided with a hinged door, B, of similar material.

Through the center of this casing passes an upright shaft, C, having its bearings in the top and bottom thereof.

0n this shaft are secured circular shelves, D D, one above the other, and counected,-uear their. edges, by means of two `or more upright rods, E E, passing through them.

' All of these shelves, with the exception of the bottom one, are cut ont for a distance corresponding with aboutx the width of the door B, at their edges'iuward toward the shaft, leaving an open space where hooks,

a a and b b, are arranged, as shown, for hanging up f meats or any other articles. These shelves D D,

with the shaft G, are easily revolved, so :as to bring any part thereof opposite to the door ofthe casing.

-The space cut ont from the shelves is separated from the other part by upright wires, (l d, forming a A rating, as shown.

O'n the outside of the casing A is attached a spring I bar, G, having a point, e,'passiug through the samel into holes made in the edge of the'bott-om shelf, D,

thus vholding all the shelves stationary at any point desired.

Having thus fully described ourinvention,

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-fv ters Patent, is-

1. lhc arrangement, wit-hinthecylindricalwire-cloth f casing gi, ofthe upright shaftC, with circular shelves D D, the upper shelves being cut out, as shown and'def seribed,'and provided with grating ll and hooks (t b, l
